Hi, my name is "Grizz" and I have a story to tell.

Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year in 2012 !! We are so very proud to announce that we have hit the $13,000.00 mark in donations to The Grizz & Friends Companion Animal Cancer Fund from the sales of "Grizz's Story-A Greater Courage". What a wonderful feeling knowing that we have truly made a difference through our sweet boy's story. Hopefully this year we will be able to be back on the road to various events to give folks a chance to talk to us.

We have also been blessed to be recognized by the University of Wi, Veterinary School of Medicine who has allowed us to put a link on this site that anyone wanting to donate to the Grizz & Friends Companion Animal Cancer Fund can use. Thank you to UWSVM, we are 100% behind you.

Our beloved Sarge has joined his life-long friend...Grizz. Our hearts are heavy with his passing but we know that he lived a very long and happy life with us. He would have been 15 years old this August and that is a very long life for a German Shepherd. We miss him terribly !! It has been a very difficult year but we hope to be back out there in 2009 crusading against cancer. Please watch for us, for we will never give up in our fight for them. It is just that right now, we need to give ourselves time to grieve the loss of another of our sweet furkids. Kodi and Tundra are doing fine, thankfully but the house seems empty without Sarge. We send our love, hugs, and prayers to all of you...

My name is Grizz(on the left). That is Sarge next to me by the pond. At 10 years old I was diagnosed with cancer when my human parents found a lump on my right rear leg and took me to see Dr. William Murphy, my friend and Veterinarian. What they found could have been the immediate end for me but instead it was a new beginning. My book is told through my eyes by my human Mom in hopes of making a difference for all cancer dogs and their human parents.

I was made aware of a wonderful web group for cancer pet owners!! It is called Endless Love and there is a great support chain on there. Please click on the link below to join. As I find more of these types of groups, I will be posting their links. Please don't ever feel alone because there are so many different types of pets with cancer but we all share the same goal and that is to preserve quality of life for our sweet companions while giving them the best chance of being a SURVIVOR. God Bless you in your journey with this silent killer.
